WEEDSEEKER
OPERATION GUIDE
If a sensor fails, complete the following checks.
1.
Restart by shutting down the power switch in the console ( each sensor has
a computer circuit board, these will get glitches in them like any computer ).
If this fails.
2.
Shut down all the power to the Weedseeker by turning off the master switch
at the battery for 5 minutes, then restart.
3.
VOLTAGE -
Check you have at least 12.2 volts in the power cable at the
line controller ( 12.1 volts or below will not work ).
4.
Check fuses in the battery box.
5.
Check the voltage at the battery.
6.
Check the voltage in the main harness at each end
7.
Check the voltage in the main harness at each end, with the console in the
flush position.
( minimum is 11 volts )
If a bank of sensors stop working, we need to find out which sensor or valve driver
or daisy cable has failed, or if the line controller itself has failed.
First disconnect the daisy cable from one side of the line controller to see if the sen-
sors on the other side of the line controller turn on. If they don’t turn on replace this
cable and remove the daisy cable from the opposite side of the line controller to see
if the sensors on the other side of the line controller turn on.
When you have found which side won’t turn on, disconnect the daisy cable half way
along from the line controller & see if the sensors prior to this one turn on.
If they don’t turn on replace the daisy cable and remove the next daisy cable closer
to the line controller, keep testing toward the line controller until you find the faulty
sensor.
If the sensors turn on, this sensor is the fault, or the fault is further away from the
line controller, keep testing toward the end of the section, away from the line control-
ler until you find the faulty sensor.
When you find the faulty sensor we need to find out if it is the valve driver, the daisy
cable or the sensor itself.
1.
Swap the Daisy cable with a new one or one you know does work, to see if
this fixes the problem.
2.
Swap the valve driver with one you know does work, to see if the problem
moves.
3.
Swap the sensor with one you know works, to see if the problem moves.
4.
If the line controller fails, swap it with one you know does work, to see if the
problem moves.
